I had brought an few of the packs of Sims1 when it debuted but sadly I never got around ti installing them and gave them to my niece who was into the sims and I never thought about them until a few years later. The Sims was getting an lot of attention and it was at the end of its developmental stage and got the Sims 1 collection that contained the base game as well as all the packs and I was hooked but I did find it difficult meeting the Sims needs and being this was the first version so one could compare it to anything else even though Maxis had developed SimsTown which was alright and not as complex as the Sims itself. Even with all the difficulty with Sims1it was an blast until I played Sims 2 and ironically I did the same to Sims 2 didn't play it for awhile as I buy my games in bulk and when I loaded Sims 2 I dropped Sims 1 immediately as Sims was 3D and I found myselve addicted to it and the Sims was easier to control their needs and one was more close to the Sims in Sims 2 and stories can told in Sims 2 as it was not as effective in Sims 1. Sims
2 will always be my favorite even more so than Sims 3 which was very innovative for its time but with all the new features The Sims itself lose a little of it's soul and quirkiness but it was still fun to play. I wish I could say Sims 4 was an blast but I can't as it upstart was full of controversy and less than meaty features and still that way to this day. Sure they allow the player to edit the terrain but that is it for me and my love for the Sims series is waning down. :(
